It designs and develops finished products to design and develop integrated solutions for products, such as satellites, spacecraft, airships, and fixed wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). It is also engaged in developing its zinc oxysulfide process. The Company manufactures its products by affixing a thin Copper-Indium-Gallium-diSelenide (CIGS) layer to a plastic substrate using a large format, roll-to-roll process that permits it to fabricate its PV modules in an integrated sequential operation.
